We would have to see how we would do paddling a canoe. Together. Do

“You need to show what First Class really looks like,” Miles Husband is saying to me as we work across from each other at our dining room table.

Sure does seem impossible for all of us to get along during this crazy election year. That’s why I’m showing some love for JetBlue who came up with a great social experiment called, “Reach Across The Aisle.” Adweek reports the airline picked a flight from Boston to Phoenix and told the passengers everyone on the flight was getting a free roundtrip to a city that JetBlue flies…with one catch.

Turns out there is so much more to Uber than getting a ride. One very grateful Uber driver is finding that out. The Washington Post reports driver Ellis Hill found that out as he gave passenger Liz Willock a ride as she was leaving the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
